Unsure whether a propane or butane stove is best for you? Let’s take a look at the differences between the fuels to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When compared to Butane, Propane has a higher energy density, higher vapor pressure, burns 1% hotter per lb, requires thicker and heavier containers, and can be burned at much colder temperatures, which makes it ideal for car camping. Butane, due to its lighter containers is good for backpacking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most campers want a fuel that is safe and reliable, works efficiently, and comes at a fair price<\/strong>. Some may also want something that will be friendly to their specific style of camping.
